\nIt took a while but we’re finally starting to see a return to normalcy in this\u00a0Fantasy Premier League\u00a0season\u00a0ahead of Gameweek 10.
\nChelsea\u00a0host\u00a0Tottenham at\u00a0Stamford Bridge in the big match\u00a0this weekend while\u00a0Manchester City and\u00a0Arsenal entertain Burnley and Wolves\u00a0respectively.
\nMeanwhile, Manchester United travel to Southampton and\u00a0Liverpool make the trip to Brighton.
\nHere are a few\u00a0tips to help guide you through GW10.
\nCAPTAIN –\u00a0KEVIN DE BRUYNE\u00a0|\u00a0MANCHESTER CITY | 11.6M<\/p>\n
At the time of writing, Kevin De Bruyne\u2019s ownership is under 18 per cent, astonishingly low for a player of his calibre who was the top points scorer last season. It’s all the more surprising because he’s only missed one game through injury.
\nUnfortunately, he\u2019s blanked in half his games this\u00a0term and ranks 32nd\u00a0among midfielders, so his lack of ownership is understandable.
\nHowever, the Belgian has started to show signs of returning to his best form. He had 13 shots – more than any other player in the league – and eight attempted assists in the last three GWs.
\nCity have great fixtures ahead, beginning with Burnley at home, so take advantage of his differential status while it lasts.
\nALTERNATIVE
\nJAMIE VARDY\u00a0(10.2m) blanked against Liverpool in GW9 but had three goals and two assists in the previous three GWs. He’s behind only Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the scoring charts with eight goals and enjoys an appealing fixture at home to Fulham this week.
\nBOLD CHOICE
\nPATRICK BAMFORD\u00a0(6.1m) is yet to blank when playing away from home. In fact, apart from Fulham’s visit to Elland Road in GW2, all of his returns have come on his travels. He makes the trip to Goodison Park this time where Everton are yet to keep a clean sheet and are conceding 2.25 goals per game.
\nONE\u00a0TO\u00a0GET
\nJAMES MADDISON\u00a0|\u00a0LEICESTER CITY | 7.0M<\/p>\n
After being an FPL favourite for the first half of last season, James Maddison was on the wane as Leicester City dropped out of the top four. This campaign has been blighted by injury so far but he’s finally getting back on track with starts in the last two GWs. Despite facing Liverpool and Wolves in those encounters, he still managed to create an impressive six chances and returns to fitness at the opportune moment with the Foxes facing Fulham, Sheffield United and Brighton next. An ownership of just 2.4 per cent makes him a great differential.
\nONE TO AVOID
\nNICK POPE\u00a0|\u00a0BURNLEY | 5.4M<\/p>\n
There’s nothing wrong with Nick Pope’s ability as a goalkeeper and he’s even kept clean sheets in his last two games. However, those were against Brighton and Crystal Palace and their fixtures take a turn now with City, Everton and Arsenal next. The Clarets haven’t been their usual stubborn selves defensively either, already conceding three or more goals three times this season.
\nBARGAIN BUY
\nTHEO WALCOTT\u00a0| SOUTHAMPTON | 5.8M<\/p>\n
Danny Ings’ absence through injury appears to have done wonders for Che Adams’ production, but it’s been equally beneficial for Theo Walcott as well. Listed as a midfielder, the 31-year-old has partnered Adams up front with the Saints’ talisman sidelined. That has resulted in an attacking return in each of the last four\u00a0games for Walcott, bagging three assists and a goal.
